Sources say the watch-page suggested column is leaning harder on freshness signals — videos older than ~18 months are reportedly getting fewer suggested impressions even when their session-watchtime is strong. One mid-size education channel I trust saw evergreen tutorials lose 30% of suggested traffic with no quality change.
For a channel like yours: this is an argument for re-uploading or refreshing your top 5 evergreen pieces with new thumbnails and a fresh publish date, not endlessly making new ones.
Confidence: medium-low. Could be seasonal, watching for a second data point.
